ʻAʻole kēia mau mākua he poʻe hoʻoweliweli, ʻaʻole hoʻi he lawehala, akā pakele lākou i ka luku ʻana i kā lākou keiki.
Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua make he ʻeiwa mau keiki i ka makahiki 2018 ma mua o ka waiho ʻia i loko o kahi kaʻa wela, a ʻo ka hapa nui o ka ʻāina ʻaʻole i ʻike i ko lākou mau mahina mahanahana. I loko nō o nā helu hōʻeha puʻuwai, ua kālailai ʻia ka National Council Council - hōʻuluʻulu ʻia i kahi hōʻike i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kēia lā - aia he 21 mau mokuʻāina a me Guam loaʻa nā kānāwai e hoʻoponopono ai i nā keiki e waiho ʻole ʻia ma nā kaʻa. ʻO nā mokuʻāina i hoʻokō i kahi kānāwai mālama ʻole ʻia, ʻeiwa mau hemahema pale ʻole no kēlā me kēia kanaka e hoʻāʻo e hoʻopakele i kahi keiki i waiho ʻia i loko o kahi kaʻa wela, a he ʻewalu mau mokuʻāina wale nō e noʻonoʻo i nā uku felony no ka poʻe i haʻalele i kahi keiki.
Ua ʻike pū ka ʻaha kūkā i nā make he 408 i kū mai ka makahiki 2007, 68 a ʻo ka hopena ʻaʻole i hoʻopiʻi ʻia. He kanahikukūmākahi mau hihia i hopena i ka manawa o ka hale paʻahao a ma 52 mau hihia, ua loaʻa i ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he makua aelike a i ʻole he wā hoʻokolokolo. Ma kahi o 30 pākēneka o nā hihia i loiloi ʻia e NSC, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ka hopena o ke kānāwai, e hōʻike ana i ka pono no ka nānā maikaʻi ʻana, ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā ʻikepili, a me nā kānāwai kikoʻī a wehewehe ʻia e pili ana i kahi pilikia e koi ana i ka awelika o 37 mau ola ʻōpio i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
Ua hoʻonāukiuki ke kālailai i ka National Safety Council e hōʻike i nā ʻāpana o ke kānāwai hoʻohālikelike no nā mokuʻāina e pale aku i nā keiki e waiho ʻino ʻia i nā kaʻa wela. Ke kāhea aku nei ka ʻaha i nā mākua a me nā mea mālama e hoʻomaopopo i nā pilikia e pili ana i ka haʻalele ʻana i nā keiki i nā kaʻa, ʻoiai no nā manawa pōkole loa.
ka hoike hoʻokuʻu ʻia me ka wā huakaʻi kauwela a me ka Mahina Palekana National, mālama ʻia i kēlā me kēia Iune.
ʻO kā mākou keiki kā mākou mea mākaʻikaʻi pilikia loa a ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke haʻalele iā lākou wale i nā kaʻa - ʻaʻole no hoʻokahi minute ʻO Amy Artuso, luna hoʻomalu papahana kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻolaha ma ka National Safety Council. "Pono kēia hōʻike e like me kahi ala ala e nānā ma mua o ka laka. Pono mākou i nā kānāwai, ke aʻo a me ka hoʻokō ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi inā mākou e hoʻopau i kēia mau make hiki ke pale ʻia a hōʻoia ʻaʻohe mea e ʻeha iā ia.
ʻOi aku ka wikiwiki o nā kino o nā keiki ma mua o nā mākua. Hoʻomaka ka pani o nā mea o loko o kahi keiki i ka manawa o kāna mahana o ke kino i hōʻea i 104 kekelē F. I ka lā 86-kekelē, 10 mau minuke ka lōʻihi o ke ana wela o kahi kaʻa e piʻi i 105 kekelē. He kanalimakūmāono pākēneka o nā make heatstroke vehicular pediatric (PVH) mai ka makahiki 1998 i ka wā o ka kaʻa ma ka home, a ua kū 25 pākēneka i ka wā i hoʻokau ʻia ka kaʻa o ka makua a mea mālama paha i kā lākou wahi hana.
ʻOiai ʻo nā mākua a me nā mea mālama i ka manawa pinepine ka pale mua e kūʻē i kēia mau make, he kuleana nui nā luna kānāwai. ʻO ka mea kikoʻī, ua koi aku ka National Safety Council i nā mea kau kānāwai i:
- Hoʻopau i nā wā manawa "palekana" mai kā lākou kānāwai, no ka mea ʻaʻohe manawa palekana e haʻalele ai i kahi keiki me ka mālama ʻole ʻia i kahi kaʻa
- Hoʻonui i nā kānāwai e hoʻokomo i kēlā me kēia kanaka e hāʻawi ana i ka nānā ʻana i kēlā me kēia keiki e waiho nei me ka ʻike
- E wehewehe i ka makahiki o ke kanaka kuleana a luna paha
- E wehewehe a hoʻonui paha i nā makahiki o nā kānaka i waiho ʻole ʻia a mālama ʻole ʻia i ka 14
- Hoʻopili i ka pale no ka poʻe nāwaliwali i waiho ʻole ʻia, e like me nā mea me ke kīnā ʻole
- Palekana i kēlā me kēia mea e hana i ka manaʻo maikaʻi e hoʻopakele i kahi keiki mai kahi kaʻa wela
- Hoʻonui i nā kānāwai e ʻae i nā poʻe e hana inā pilikia ka kino o ke keiki a i ʻole "hoʻokau i kahi makaʻi i kekahi poʻe ʻē aʻe"
- Loaʻa nā kālā pololei mai nā uku uku e kākoʻo i nā papahana aʻo no nā mākua, nā mea mālama a me nā lawehala
ʻOiai he nui nā keiki e waiho nei i nā kaʻa me ka manaʻo ʻole, nui nā make heatstroke vehicular pēpē ke waiho ʻia ma hope o nā keiki me ka pōʻino, ʻo ka maʻamau no ka hāʻule ʻana o kahi makua a mea mālama paha mai kāna hana maʻamau a poina e lawe i ke keiki mai ke kaʻa. I loko o ka hōʻike, hoʻopuka pū ʻo NSC i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no nā mākua a me nā mea mālama e pili ana i ka waiho ʻana i kahi ʻeke a i ʻole ke kelepona paʻalima i ka noho ʻaoʻao no laila hoʻomanaʻo lākou e nānā i ka hoʻi ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana i ke kaʻa.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- While too many children are left in vehicles intentionally, many pediatric vehicular heatstroke deaths occur when children are left behind accidentally, usually because a parent or caregiver falls out of his or her normal routine and forgets to take the child out of the vehicle.
- Of the states that have implemented an unattended child law, nine lack protections for any person who tries to save a child left in a hot vehicle, and just eight states consider felony charges for those who leave a child.
- In the report, NSC also issues recommendations for parents and caregivers including leaving a purse or cell phone in the backseat so they are reminded to check the back before leaving the vehicle.
